3D-Machine

What is 3D-Machine?

3D-Machine is a free hobby project from a German maker with 14 generators and a print price calculator. The site opens in German, and an EN switch at the top (also PL and CZ) translates it. Every tool runs in the browser with a live 3D preview.

The generators make a vase (height, belly, edges, waves, twist and wall thickness, made for vase mode), a two-part self-watering flower pot with a water reservoir and wick tube, a photo frame for 9x13 or 10x15 cm photos with a slide-in back and stand, plant labels in seven shapes with a stake or hanging hole, a big birthday number or letter with a name in script that fits into it (20 fonts), a keychain, a cookie cutter from six shapes or your own image, Gridfinity bins and baseplates with magnet holes, a drawer organizer you split by clicking and dragging, a QR stand for Wi-Fi, links, payments or reviews, random snowflakes, a mandala wall lamp with LED holders and a battery compartment, loose letters and numbers, and a simple 3D configurator for boxes, holes, text and threads.

Downloads are STL or 3MF; the name number generator exports both parts as a two-color 3MF. Everything is free with no account, and a tip jar asks for an optional coffee. No license or terms page is linked, so the site does not say whether you may sell the prints. It suits makers who want home and gift prints from one free site.
